Through two filmmaker lenses, we follow an activist and former cop over 2 years as they navigate their respective worlds.
#blacklivesmatter, 7min., USA
Directed by One Single Rose
The struggle we face for racial equality has been ongoing for over 400 years. After so many lives have been lost due to systemic racism and police brutality, I penned a piece entitled #blacklivesmatter chronicling a few moments in our history. Unfortunately, in 2020, this piece is timely and more names continue to be added to the list of black lives taken from us. 2020 has brought support for #blacklivesmatter from all over the globe. WE NEED CHANGE YESTERDAY! One day, I hope to be able to retire this piece. Until then, I'll stay on my knees for us with pen afire, because writing is what I do...
